It is inarguably true that I exist. That I am. The mind’s response to this fundamental fact is to miniaturize it, to make it absurd, to say ‘I am a body.’ The belief that I am a body is the First Mistake.

It has no beginning and no end, and despite what Oprah says, no one lives a life. We are life.
